Answer:

Reducing sugars are sugars where the anomeric carbon has an OH group attached that can reduce other compounds. Non-reducing sugars do not have an OH group attached to the anomeric carbon so they cannot reduce other compounds. ... Maltose and lactose are reducing sugars, while sucrose is a non-reducing sugar
